After a long vacation, the comeback battle begins

With the end of the Chuseok holiday, the music industry is also back to work.

With a series of comebacks expected to sweep this fall after the hot summer, many singers are returning from their long break.

The group that is in the biggest spotlight is definitely BLACKPINK. BLACKPINK will release their second full album “BORN PINK” on September 16th and come back as a full group after more than two years. Their pre-released song “Pink Venom,” which was released on August 19th, raised the mood by sweeping domestic and foreign charts, and the pre-orders for the album surpassed 2 million copies, making them the first K-pop girl group to achieve a “double million seller.”

As a result, expectations are high for a new record to be written after the official release of BLACKPINK’s album. As their album sales are expected to increase, attention is focused on BLACKPINK’s performance on the U.S. “Billboard 200” chart, which aggregates album sales. In addition, attention is being paid to whether “Pink Venom” will break a new record on “Hot 100” through the full album as it entered the Billboard “Hot 100” chart at 22nd place on the 29th of last month (local time) and achieved the best performance as a K-pop girl group’s single.

Girl group EXID also reported a welcoming news for the first time in three years. EXID, who caused an “Up and Down” syndrome in the past, have suspended their group activities in early 2020 as the members left their original agency and went on their own ways. However, as the members said, “We are not disbanded” through their appearances in public, the group will soon make a comeback on September 29th with the album “X” to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their debut after a three-year long hiatus.

“X” means the number 10 in Greek and also a letter in their group name EXID. A total of 3 songs will be included, including the title song “Fire,” “LEGGO” which is dedicated to their fans, and a song produced by member L.E.

The original K-pop star Kim Jae-joong will release his first full album in six years. The third full album “BORN GENE,” which will be released on September 13th, is a gift-like album for Jae-joong’s fans who have waited for his activities, and is filled with all the music he has wanted to show. A total of 9 songs from various genres, including the title song “Nobody Like You” which has a style that Kim Jae-joong has never done before, heralded a new transformation.
